That's a beautiful car. The ad has been up for nearly a month, though.

EDIT - just saw it was gas. Still a nice ride, but if it was diesel I was thinking on a 6 hour drive to go look...

Post New Jersy 190D

I remember the hoi polloi hating these when new, I rode in one a few times and it was nice but *very* cramped ~ I only have a 32" inseam so that means it really is snug inside .

Thumbs up Texas '77 300D

It appears to be a clean little car -but- the enthusiasts for these NA cars are all long gone, this one if not drastically reduced in price will be crusher fodder ere long .

'ran out of fuel and towed home' ~ yeah, maybe but also could be one more thrashed to death or timing chain snapped etc. pig in a poke deal.....

I too think it looks like a builder but.....

Oh MY, this is a beauty

Looks beautiful. a few things bother me though (Not My ad or Car)

1. The odometer broke when I hit the trip reset while rolling, so the mileage is showing about 10k lower than it should

2. The wagon gets about 35 mpg to start.

3. It has a SVO/WVO single-tank conversion which I have not tested and used

Post '87 300TD Phoenix

The odometer thing is BULL**** ~ anyone who's ever actually taken one apart knows this .

Nice car ! .

? $9K ? -really- ? .

I guess I'm spoiled living in Southern California .

I don't know how hard this would be to correct, but $6000 (or $4000 with a little negotiation?) seems decent for something that new...even if the guy drove it like a douchebag snowboarder.

Depends what you want out of it. Replace the transfer case and go might make it a deal. You might as well buy a more loved one instead of having the dents professionally repaired - $10K buys this - https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ctd/d/2007-mercedes-benz-class-320/6541299348.html .
